- Breast Cancer - Do You Really Need A Mastectomy? - From A Nurse Survivor
By: Helen Hecker | - If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, it may have been suggested you have a single mastectomy in the other breast or a double mastectomy, but is this the best approach?

Age is likely the most important overall factor associated with breast cancer risk. Breast cancer risk increases in the older post-menopausal population.

- "watchful Waiting" Advice May Lead To Delayed Diagnosis Of Prostate Cancer
By: Joseph Hernandez | - The PSA blood test is used by doctors to screen asymptomatic men for prostate cancer. A PSA above 4.0 ng/mL is generally considered to be elevated. Since prostate cancer increases the PSA level as the cancer progresses doctors generally recommend a biopsy if the PSA test comes back abnormally high.

- Breast Cancer From Bras?
By: Paul J. Marshall | - An Internet search on bras and their connection with breast cancer reveals a very astonishing result.

- Breast Cancer Gene Therapy - How Does It Work?
By: Paul J. Marshall | - Modern medicine has begun to explore gene therapy as a future candidate for breast cancer treatments.
